Each hundred pounds of gain cost $8.00 per hundred pounds when 

 the lambs were in an open shed as compared with $8.27 per hundred 

 pounds when the lambs were fed in the barn. The finish on the 

 lambs was the same in both lots as is indicated by the valuation of 

 $10.30 per hundred pounds for both lots of lambs. Owing to the 

 fact that the lambs in the open shed made more economical gains, 

 there was a slight difference in the profit between the two lots in 

 favor of feeding in the open shed. The lambs in Lot 6 returned a 

 profit of $1.31 per head as compared with $1.22 per head by lambs 

 in Lot 9 fed in a barn. These results are typical of those received 

 in previous trials.
